Rod, I know a place, they had 5 of them when I was checking on one for myself.

 

Sorry to hear about all of the broken bones and crashes. I'm damn lucky I didn't end up in the hospital. I made a fool of myself at PR, but it was great fun.

Bottom line is that I have some serious respect for those MX riders. Let's just say that I called into work yesterday and have spent several hours in the hot tub and went through a whole jar of tiger balm. Every muscle in my body is full of lactic acid. Just like that country song... "I'm much too young too feel this damn old". Also have a nice bruise on my **** and strained a muscle in my lower back. I'm hobbling around and I swear my back is now shaped like a question mark. Even worse, I got a job interview in the morning and a funeral tomorrow afternoon.

As Sean was saying... I was on Lap 3. I went over the 2nd table top, landed wrong and somehow unlatched my seat, hit the 3rd tabletop, lost the seat and whacked my *** on the airbox. It was comedy in action. I hope Lisa didn't get any pics of it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] I finished dead last and even got lapped as I had to run back and grab my seat. I seriously wish I would have went to practice on Saturday. Even if I was good, I didn't stand a chance. My quad is bone stock. Everyone elses at least had a slip-on. Most of the bikes, even in the C class, had a couple thousand dollars in mods.

Almost didn't get to race... I didn't have Nerfs or a tether and the headlights are required to be removed or taped up. The flag man wanted to send me back, but he couldn't find Bob, so he let me race.

All-in-all I'm really glad I did it. It is something I've always wanted to do since I was a kid. I should have been better prepared though. I really needed to watch a few races first. Also, I didn't realize I was so out of shape. I'm telling you, by the end of the 2nd lap I was worn out. How the pros do 12 laps, is beyond me. I played football all through high school, have done many "hardcore" workouts when I was in the Navy, and play Basketball once a week. I have never been as tired as I was when I was out on that track. Some of it is just inexperience on my part. Not taking the doubles and man handling the bike more than I should, but I know the pros are getting one hell of a work-out.

 

His regular doc looked at his arm today, took alot more time than the ER SQUID. She said it looks to be okay, just keep an eye on the bruising, keep checking for excessive heat? Sounds like a bs manuever to me.

 

Holy Chit, I GOT ON ATV CONNECTION FORUMS! This is amazing, what is going on around here? Do we need to find a new home for our activities? It is starting to seem like it, I tried to log on a few times with **** poor results. I paid to be a supporting member to help keep the forums UP AND RUNNING!

 

OH MIKE,

RFLMAO [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I know where your coming from my friend.
You have my sympathy
I did 6 practice sessions Saturday, 1 practice and 2 races Sunday.....aaagggggghhhhhh
Felt sore and tired last night.
Felt like I got run over by a freight truck this morning, nothing wanted to work....

I got over a month to rest and them go do it all again.
Bad thing is there is only 2 weeks between the last 2 races...gggggggggrrrrrrrr

I hope you'll come out next time.
Take it a little more easy and play on the track.
If ya just go out to play and learn the track, you'll save a little.
It's hard to be competitive when just starting.
It's all about fun.

I wish there were more utilities in my class, but kinda glad there isn't. I'd push myself way to hard.

Heel up and I hope you feel better soon, take it easy...........

WingyDude,

I'd have somebody's a$$ at that ER.......
If they didn't take the x-rays like they said, and you asked for, boy oh boy..........
I wouldn't only knaw on there a$$, I'd be taking chunks out.
The scary part is what would have happen when she fell or did something to that wrist before she was able to see the specialist.
She could have done a lot more damage requiring a lot more to fix it, much less the pain it woud have caused her.

Lord have mercy on them when the the Big WingDude comes flying through those doors [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Good Luck.....


Bill,
Hope the lil guy heels up just fine and feels better.
Left ya note in the other topic, hope you guys can make it to Pacific Raceways in August.
He would have fun, especially if they let them run the big track......... Just ask JediMike....hehehe LMAO
The lil guys did ride it a couple times.....

 

Sean,
Check your PM'S

 

Sean, the funny thing is that Jenna and I was going to PR to race on Sunday. She wanted to give it a try and I was going to bring the big Kawi over to run with you. After her accident, I figured the wife would have my b*lls if I tried to go race. It was for the better, I an sure. I would have ended up in the ER as well. That would have sucked considering how in-compitent they are over there.

 

Hey Ray,

No problem, we did miss you though. Come on out next time to watch. Those big boys are pretty impressive to. Us others are good entertainment.

Sure hope Jenna heals up quick.....

 

She will, she is just a littlle pissed off right now, at herself.

i hope her arm feels better asap

live and learn,,,i guess
